The rock itself is a site of geological interest, composed of 350-million-year-old Devonian limestone, reflecting its inclusion in the English Riviera Geopark. The landmark is believed to owe its name to its distinctive profile; from certain angles, one of the rock's outcrops is said to resemble a local 'thatcher' working on the roof of a Devon cottage.
